Introduction
Find out how you can measure and compare the relative performance of different warehouse providers either to choose a provider or make a decision on switching providers.
Recommendation
In order to compare warehouse performance apples-to-apples and get a true read of relative performance, here are the things we recommend aligning as best as you can:
- Make sure the schema is exactly the same between the two connectors. Even one table could affect the speed of the sync.
- Make sure the sync frequencies are the same between destinations. The longer in between the syncs, the more data there is to load.
- Verify the warehouses you are comparing are comparable in size.
- Ensure your deployment region is the same or comparable as that can also impact latency.
Considerations
Each warehouse provider comes with its own specific set of features and functionalities and there are performance optimizations that can be done in one warehouse and not in another. We recommend that you take those into account as you compare warehouse providers. Here are some articles on the specific tools you may have at your disposal for the more popular warehouse providers we see our customers use.
